GERMAN DEATH PACT
FAMILY CALLOUSNESS — ULTRA-MODERN GIRL (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.. 1 (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) BERLIN, February 12. Revelations in the Kranz case continue to appal the public. The frivolous indifference and brazen mendacity with which Hildegarde Scheller answered questions by the Vice-Prefect of Police is regarded as most shocking when it is remembered that her brother and boy lover were killed practically in her presence. The girl’s callousness is partly explained in a discovery made by a policewoman who went to the Scheller home to inquire regarding Hildegarde’s antecedents. She found the girl’s father bent over a table, with his head in his hands. He was not bound down by grief however, but solving a crossword puzzle. Elinor Ratti, a girl friend of Hildegarde, who visited .the house on the night of the murders, was ruthlessly cross-examined when she attempted to exonerate Kranz at the expense of Scheller.
